I've had TM for 11 years and, yes, the pain gets worse (for me anyhow). I had to go on disability as I could no longer function at work. The pain is 24/7/365, of which maybe 50% is tolerable and the other 50% is very, very bad. The pain has affected my thinking, my gait, and has made life miserable. I keep hoping that relief is just around the corner. With the research they are doing, I'm sure something will be developed that will help all of us. With such a beautiful day outside, no one should suffer the residual affects that TM brings. Bettie in sunny Virginia
